A 100% Renewable Energy Future is Possible, & We Need It, renewable energy represents an exciting opportunity to bring multiple benefits
We found that, in our “100% RES” scenario, coal generation essentially disappears by 2040 in USCA states. From 2020 to 2040, solar generation in these states grows nearly ninefold and wind generation more than sevenfold.
In 2040, electricity generation in the USCA states is 73 percent renewable. It’s not 100 percent, because of the difference between consumption and generation: Although the USCA states meet all their own electricity needs with renewables as required by the RES, our modeling allows plants fueled by coal, gas, and nuclear to continue operating—which they do, because the principal US power grids are interconnected across many states, with power shared across state lines.
Our analysis underscores the importance of cleaning the grid as we electrify the transportation and building sectors.
What we need now is political will to make this transition happen and ensure that its benefits reach us all. Let’s contact our policy makers at all levels, from towns and states to our federal government, and ask them to take action to ensure an equitable clean energy transition
